We accept payment by Delta, Switch/Maestro, Master Card and Visa.
There is no fee for payments made with a debit card but credit cards carry a 2% charge.
Generally, all taxes, surcharges and supplements are included in the price of the holiday on our website. Unfortunately, final prices can differ slightly because we rely on airlines, Hotels and Tour Operators to keep everything up to date, and in travel things change by the minute. To ensure the most accurate price for your chosen holiday simply click "update quote" on the holiday page.
We offer a deposit and part payment scheme for Package Holidays if you are booking your package holiday more than 12 weeks ahead of the departure date. You will be required to pay a deposit immediately and you will be given a date to pay the outstanding balance, allowing you to pay for your holiday with as many payments as you wish. If you are booking your package holiday less than 12 weeks before departure, you must pay the costs in full immediately or for Thomas Cook product 14 weeks before departure.
At the booking stage, dependent on the holiday, you are given the option to arrange extra baggage allowances. If you have already booked your holiday and you wish to add these options, simply call our customer services team on 0203 6361 987.
We will send you an email to confirm your booking containing the holiday details and your reference number. It is advised that you print out a copy of this email or save it for your own records.
Once we have received full payment for your forthcoming holiday, ticket confirmation will be sent to you in due course. This will usually be in the form of an 'E-ticket'. E-tickets look very much like your booking confirmation, but will state the wording 'E-ticket document' at the top of the first page and will give details of check-in times, as well as flight timings, transfers and accommodation if applicable. Upon receipt of your E-ticket, you will receive no further confirmation from us, as your E-ticket (along with your passport(s) & any other required travel documentation) is all you need to check-in with at the airport. If you do not receive your E-ticket from us at least 7 days before you travel, please contact our Customer Services team on 0203 6361 987 who will then assist you further.
If you find anything wrong in your holiday documentation or if you just wish to change something about your holiday, contact our customer services department on 0203 6361 987.
If there is a mistake on your tickets or other documentation, please call customer services on 0203 6361 987 and we will amend your details.
If you wish to cancel your holiday please call our customer services department on 0203 6361 987.
If you require any information on travelling to potential problem areas, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) has up to date information on its website here.
Dependent on where you are travelling, you may or may not require immunisation. It is best to consult your GP if you are unsure about anything.
Always be careful in the sun, staying out of direct sunlight between 11AM and 3PM if possible, because this is when the sun is hottest. It is advisable to use a sun cream that protects against UVA and UVB radiation, even if you are a regular sunbather. Children, babies and the elderly are particularly vulnerable in sunlight, as are people with fair skin. It's also important to remember that you can still burn when it is cloudy. Sun cream should be re-applied if you decide to go for a swim or get wet.
A lot of resorts in Europe tend to have very good tap water, but it is advisable to drink bottled water if you are unsure of the tap water's quality.
As with eating out domestically, it is advised that you check your food is properly cooked – particularly meats – and has been prepared in a hygienic environment before eating. If you are experimenting with foods that you haven't tried before, you should introduce yourself to them gradually.
Often on holiday, waiters, taxi drivers, porters and other people offering services will expect a tip because tip money makes up the bulk of their wage. There is no standard tipping amount, but generally somewhere between 5 and 15% is the norm.
It depends entirely on the airline and pregnant women are advised to confirm with the airline they are flying with. However, most airlines allow air travel during pregnancy up until the 28th week of pregnancy.
All tour operators advise their customers to take out travel insurance at the time of booking. Please see your insurance partner for full details.
If you require medical treatment abroad and you are not insured, you or your friends and Family will be billed. With insurance, the insurance company should pay for any medical treatment you require.
You no longer require the E111 form because it is now invalid. The EHIC or European Health Insurance Card is now required in European countries to receive free or reduced cost health care. It is available from the Post Office.
Some holiday destinations require the appropriate visa in order to travel there, and it is the customer's responsibility to arrange this. For further information on which countries require a visa, please visit the Foreign and Commonwealth Office website.
It is important that the details on passports match those on the travel documentation. For example, the names on the passports must match the names on the flight tickets to avoid any problems on the day of travel. Your passport must be valid for the duration of your holiday, and in many cases for up to 6 months after your expected date of return. For further information, the Passport Office can be contacted on 08705 210 410 (calls charged at national rate).
It usually takes up to four weeks to apply for a new passport, so if you're planning a holiday soon and your passport has expired, it is best to apply for a new one as soon as possible. It is possible to obtain a passport much more quickly, but this comes at a greater cost and we wouldn't advise relying on the service because there is a chance you won't be able to go on holiday. You should be able to get a passport application form from your local Post Office, or you can apply online at the Passport Office website.
Children under 16 have been required to hold their own passport since the 5th of October 1998. Children already on a parent's passport are still allowed to travel either until they reach 16 years of age, or the parent's passport expires.

All airlines must comply with CAA guidelines therefore certain requirements must be satisfied before they can allocate seats. Some airlines will give seat numbers in advance and others allocate them at check in, therefore we recommend you check the Terms and Conditions of your chosen airline and these can be found on their own website or you may contact us for assistance.
Third Party FlyingA very small number of holidays with Thomson and First Choice holidays now link into third party flying which is not available online but can be booked over the phone.
